I clenched my fists as the Hauxim on the bench stood up.

"Don't worry, they can't hurt you even if they try."

He looked forwards at the group with a firm expression, screaming at them in his language. They closed towards us,

"Here,"

The Hauxim handed me a small orb and closed my hand.

"When you hit them, It'll administer a hearty shock, it's my own invention."



I nodded at him. "Thanks," I turned towards the crowd and the man returned to the bench, picking up his book once again, I could see his eyes focused on me, in the movies you see the gangs in every prison. I'm assuming this group is Sector 51's gang.

One ran towards me with a small knife. I hopped over it and the gang stared at me, I set my feet back onto the ground and the gang member swung at me again, cutting the stomach area of my uniform. A bad feeling flooded through me, I swung a punch strongly into his face as blue sparks flew out of the orb. He lied on the ground for a moment as I looked back at the Hauxim on the bench. He nodded,

"Hey, don't try to be a pacifist here human. You'll just end up with more scars than skin."

I nodded again, this guy was unusually pragmatic for a guy reading a book during a prison fight.

"What's your name?" I leaned my head to the side.

He laughed and stood up to reach out his hand, I could see gang members pulling away their injured friend off the floor as he blinked drearily.

"I'm Stephen,"

He nodded and gave off a smile beneath his facial appendages.

"I'm Zervas, Doctor Zervas."

I froze Zervas was the man who Harvax wanted me to talk to.

"I'm assuming you met my Father?" He questioned me staring at the gang.

I stuttered "Y-Yeah, he's... Nice"

Zervas nodded, "Yes, he is. I love him very much, I know he'll get me out of here soon."

I stopped again staring straight at Zervas, suddenly a member of the gang came out of nowhere and punched me straight in the cheek and I fell flat onto the ground.

"Listen to me Human!" I saw Zervas roll his eyes as the gang member stood above me.

"I am Eexaz, leader of gang!"

His English sucked,

"Sorry, I taught him English in exchange for leaving me alone." Zervas whispered.

"You are in our turf so listen."

I nodded at him slowly getting up. I stared at Zervas and back at Eexas,

"Okay, whatever you say big guy."

He leaned his head to his right.

"What is big guy?"

I nodded and walked away holding my cheek, Zervas paced towards me.

"Well, did they assign you a cell?"

I shook my head as I wriggled my jaw uncomfortably.

"Well!" Zervas looked upwards. "You can share a cell with me!"

I was hesitant, so far the majority of the Hauxim I've met tried to kill, or harm me in some way, shape, or form. Harvax paced slowly up a flight of stairs and motioned for me to follow him, so I did. He turned left and entered a code onto a cell door. It slid open creaking.
